1. I doubt they deal Clevinger, but if there is one team that could move a pitcher like him and immediately backfill his spot in the rotation, it is Cleveland.
2. It is easier to get outfielders than aces. Springer, for example, is a free agent this off-season.
3. Why wait? Sox have rebuilt quickly before. Look at how they did after last place finishes in 2012 and 2015.
4. Isn’t that exactly what a Clevinger trade is?
